National Enquirer's big fail this year:Lying about a pregnant woman

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 12 July 2010

There is almost nothing I hate more than Scientology. Given that, I have no love for John Travolta and little for his wife Kelly Preston.

But I hate the liars at the National Enquirer even more.

There is a published account that says the couple are concerned about miscarriage. Given that Ms. Preston is 47, that is a reasonable concern. But the Enquirer has the headline KELLY PRESTON MISCARRIAGE DRAMA! with the sub-headline "Save My Baby!" based on no evidence at all.

If I had my druthers, the headline writers for the Enquirer would be serving jail time instead of Lindsay Lohan. I don't believe in hell, but when I think about these smug safe bastards, understand the appeal of believing in eternal punishment for the worst people in the world.

UPDATE: I have started a new label, The Meanest Story of the Week, and the Enquirer is this week's winner.
